The Experience

“You see that curve in the lake? Locals call it ‘le sourire’, the smile,” our pilot, Marc, grinned as we buckled in. I was still fumbling with my headset, a bit nervous honestly — helicopters always seemed like something for action movies, not regular people from Montreal like me. The rotors started up and everything below us — the ski lifts, the tiny bursts of color from hikers’ jackets — suddenly felt like a toy set. I could smell pine even through the glass, or maybe that was just my imagination running wild.

The whole flight lasted about twenty minutes but it didn’t feel rushed at all. We looped right over Lake Tremblant; Marc pointed out where he used to ice fish as a kid (he laughed when I tried to pronounce “Laurentians” in French). The mountain looked different from above — less intimidating somehow, more like a soft green blanket than a ski slope. I kept trying to spot wildlife but only managed to see what might’ve been a deer trail near the water’s edge. My partner snapped photos like crazy while I just stared out, not really wanting to blink.

I didn’t expect how quiet it would be up there — except for the thrum of the engine and Marc’s voice crackling through our headsets. Sometimes you forget how big Quebec feels until you’re floating above it all. When we landed back near the pedestrian village, my legs felt wobbly (not sure if it was nerves or excitement). We waved goodbye to Marc and wandered off for coffee, still half up in the clouds somehow.
